Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of air dehumidification equipment, and in particular, relates to a novel rotary dehumidifier with a rotary wheel that can be easily cleaned. Background Art

[0002] The structure of the rotary dehumidifier mainly includes: casing, rotor, motor, electric heater, and two fans. The casing is divided into a dehumidification zone and a regeneration zone, each of which corresponds to one of the above fans.

[0003] The general principle of the rotary dehumidifier is: humid air passes through the rotor, the hygroscopic material on the rotor intercepts moisture, and then dry air is obtained, and the regenerated air is first heated and then blown through the rotor, taking away the moisture on it, so that the hygroscopic material can be reused, ensuring that the rotary dehumidifier continues to have a dehumidification effect.

[0004] Generally, the regenerated air is outdoor air, and the dehumidified air is also discharged to the outside. On the other hand, the wheel structure will accumulate dust and breed bacteria during long-term use, so it needs to be taken out and cleaned regularly.

[0005] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN220793311U and authorization announcement date 2024.04.16 discloses a rotary dehumidifier that is easy to clean the rotary wheel. Its structural components mainly include: support blocks, baffles, screws, bearings, sealing gaskets, box bodies, batteries, alarms, bumps, grooves, top frames, bottom frames, belts, and dehumidification wheels.

[0006] The rotary dehumidifier in this utility model patent has the following advantages: compared with the existing overall disassembly and cleaning method, its cleaning structure facilitates the cleaning of the rotary wheel and greatly reduces the time required for a single cleaning of the rotary wheel.

[0007] However, the rotary dehumidifier still has at least the following impractical problems in the actual cleaning process, which are specifically manifested as follows: The motor and dehumidifier wheel structure are connected together by an integral frame. Therefore, when the dehumidifier wheel is taken out for cleaning, the motor must be taken out together. This is very troublesome and dangerous. The motor is prone to many accidents such as falling, bumping, water ingress, wire breaking, etc., which greatly reduces its practicality and safety. Summary of the invention

[0010] A further preferred technical solution is that the bottom shell unit includes a bottom plate for installing the driving motor and the partition frame unit, an annular side plate arranged on the bottom plate and used to connect the cover plate unit, and an upstream airflow baffle plate arranged on the bottom plate and used to divide the dehumidification zone and the regeneration zone.

[0011] A further preferred technical solution is that the partition frame unit includes a partition arranged on the bottom plate, connected to the annular side plate and used for mounting the rotating wheel, and an arc-shaped opening arranged on the partition and used for inserting and engaging the driving ring unit.

[0012] A further preferred technical solution is that the driving ring unit comprises a driven ring which is arranged on the arc-shaped opening and whose inner and outer annular surfaces are respectively used to connect the rotating wheel and the driving motor.

[0013] A further preferred technical solution is that the cover plate unit includes a detachable cover plate arranged on the annular side plate and the partition plate, and a downstream airflow baffle plate arranged on the inner side surface of the detachable cover plate and used for docking with the upstream airflow baffle plate.

[0014] A further preferred technical solution is that: the number of the partitions is 2, which are used to separate the drive motor and the rotating wheel, and the operation panel and the rotating wheel respectively.

[0015] A further preferred technical solution is that the partition frame unit also includes a sealing and supporting dual-purpose frame body arranged on one of the partitions and connected to the annular side plate, and a motor shaft socket arranged on the sealing and supporting dual-purpose frame body.

[0016] A further preferred technical solution is that the partition frame unit also includes a sealed shell which is arranged on another partition, covers the arc-shaped opening, and is used to install the operation panel.

[0017] A further preferred technical solution is that: the driving ring unit also includes an annular groove arranged on the end face of the driven circular ring; the partition frame unit also includes a support rod arranged on the arc-shaped opening and inserted into the annular groove.

[0018] A further preferred technical solution is that the cover plate unit also includes a locking plate which is arranged on the inner side surface of the removable cover plate and is used to connect the downstream airflow baffle plate and the upstream airflow baffle plate by locking the partition plate to thereby annularly position the removable cover plate.

Accordingly, the cover unit is set to be detachable.

[0021] Second, the operating area of ​​the rotor has sufficient and appropriate airtightness to prevent overheating and damage to the drive motor and drive operation panel.

[0022] Third, there is also sufficient barrier effect between the dehumidification zone and the regeneration zone to ensure the high efficiency of the electric heater and avoid carrying a large amount of moisture in the dry air.

[0023] Fourth, the rotary dehumidifier itself has good structural stability and high compactness, and the disassembly and assembly operations are convenient and precise. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and does not limit the scope of the present application.

[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, a new type of rotary dehumidifier with a function of convenient wheel cleaning, the structure includes a rotary wheel 11, and a driving motor 12, and also includes a bottom shell unit 1 for mounting the driving motor 12 internally, a partition frame unit 2 arranged on the inner side of the bottom shell unit 1, a driving ring unit 3 arranged on the partition frame unit 2 and used for annularly engaging the rotary wheel 11, and a cover unit 4 arranged on the bottom shell unit 1 and the partition frame unit 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the dehumidifier realizes the basic rotary dehumidification function in the following manner: the bottom shell unit 1 and the cover unit 4 together constitute the outer shell structure of the rotary dehumidifier, the outer shell has high air tightness, and two air holes are provided on its two sides, corresponding to dry air and dehumidified air on one side, and regeneration air and humid air on the other side, and finally the inner shell is divided into a dehumidification zone and a regeneration zone, and each position on the rotary wheel 11 alternates between the dehumidification zone and the regeneration zone, thereby achieving a continuous dehumidification effect.

[0040] The reason why the rotary dehumidifier has the function of convenient cleaning of the rotary wheel is: First, the rotating wheel 11 is not in direct contact with the driving motor 12, but the driving ring unit 3 provides a continuous and effective power input function, which greatly reduces the difficulty of removing and reinstalling the rotating wheel 11; Second, the rotating wheel 11 and the driving ring unit 3 only need to provide a sufficient circumferential engagement effect, and there is no need for a large limiting relationship between the two in the axial direction, so that the rotating wheel 11 can be pulled out and removed from the driving ring unit 3 relatively effortlessly; Third, the cover plate unit 4 is screwed to the bottom shell unit 1 and can be disassembled separately, which further improves the convenience of the wheel cleaning operation; Fourthly, the positions of the rotating wheel 11 and the partition frame unit 2 are staggered, and the partition frame unit 2 will not block the disassembly and assembly operation of the rotating wheel 11 .

[0041] The main materials of the bottom shell unit 1, the partition frame unit 2, the drive ring unit 3 and the cover unit 4 are all engineering plastics. The rotary dehumidifier can be used vertically or horizontally. When it is used horizontally, the cover unit 4 is on the top and the bottom shell unit 1 is on the bottom. The outer side of the bottom shell unit 1 and the cover unit 4 is provided with a dehumidifier shell structure, or both of them can be directly used as the equipment shell.

[0042] The bottom shell unit 1 includes a bottom plate 101 for installing the driving motor 12 and the partition frame unit 2, an annular side plate 102 arranged on the bottom plate 101 and used to connect the cover plate unit 4, and an upstream airflow baffle plate 103 arranged on the bottom plate 101 and used to divide the dehumidification zone and the regeneration zone.

[0043] In this embodiment, the bottom plate 101 is circular in shape, the annular side plate 102 is annular in shape, and the upstream airflow blocking plate 103 is V-shaped, and the three are integrally formed.

[0044] In the axial direction of the rotor 11, the upstream airflow baffle 103 is sufficiently and appropriately close to it to ensure sufficient air tightness between the dehumidification zone and the regeneration zone, while the upstream airflow baffle 103 cannot significantly rub against the rotor 11. For example, the distance between the opposing surfaces of the two can be set to 0.5 cm.

[0045] The partition frame unit 2 includes a partition 201 disposed on the bottom plate 101 and connected to the annular side plate 102 and used for mounting the rotating wheel 11 , and an arc-shaped opening 202 disposed on the partition 201 and used for inserting and engaging the driving ring unit 3 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the side surface of the partition 201 is flush with the annular side plate 102, so that the cover unit 4 can simultaneously abut against the partition 201 and the annular side plate 102, avoiding harmful and completely preventable air leakage between the cover unit 4 and the partition 201.

[0047] The two arc-shaped surfaces of the arc-shaped opening 202 fit the outer ring surface of the driving ring unit 3, and the remaining two planes of the former fit the two end surfaces of the driving ring unit 3. Thus,: First, the partition plate 201 can stably support the driving ring unit 3; Second, the outer ring surface portion of the driving ring unit 3 is exposed through the arc-shaped opening 202 , providing a necessary structural basis for the driving operation of the driving motor 12 .

[0048] Accordingly, the partition 201 can separate the rotor operation area from the motor installation area. Otherwise, the drive motor 12 is located in the rotor operation area, which will not only interfere with the rotation of the rotor 11, but also cause harmful heat exchange between the dehumidification area and the regeneration area. The latter includes: 1. The hot regeneration air blows the drive motor 12, which may cause it to be damaged by heat; 2. The heat generated by the driving motor 12 itself will not be transferred to the dehumidification area, otherwise the moisture adsorbed by the hygroscopic material will return to the dry air, reducing the drying efficiency.

[0049] The driving ring unit 3 includes a driven ring 301 which is arranged on the arc-shaped opening 202 and whose inner and outer annular surfaces are respectively used to connect the rotating wheel 11 and the driving motor 12 .

[0050] In this embodiment, the axial thickness of the driven ring 301 is smaller than that of the runner 11, so that the upstream airflow baffle 103 can be close to the runner 11. The radial thickness of the driven ring 301 is relatively large to prevent the runner 11 from hitting the baffle 201 when installing or removing the driven ring 301. For details, please refer to the attached Figure 6 .

[0051] On the other hand, if the driving wheel 6 is a gear, a corresponding tooth structure is provided on the outer surface of the driven ring 301, and if the driving wheel 6 is a rubber wheel, a corresponding rubber ring structure can be provided on the outer surface of the driven ring 301 to ensure sufficient friction between the two.

[0052] The cover plate unit 4 includes a detachable cover plate 401 disposed on the annular side plate 102 and the partition plate 201 , and a downstream airflow baffle plate 402 disposed on the inner side of the detachable cover plate 401 and used for docking with the upstream airflow baffle plate 103 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the removable cover plate 401 is circular in shape, screwed to the annular side plate 102, and abutted against the partition plate 201. The projection shapes of the downstream airflow baffle plate 402 and the upstream airflow baffle plate 103 on the rotor 11 overlap, ensuring that the dehumidified airflow and the regenerated airflow are sufficiently isolated.

[0054] Likewise, the downstream airflow baffle 402 is sufficiently and appropriately close to the runner 11, so that the former cannot rub against the rotating latter.

[0055] On the other hand, the center angle of the "V-shaped" structure of the upstream airflow baffle 103 and the downstream airflow baffle 402 can be set to be larger or smaller, that is, the size of the dehumidification area and the regeneration area can be flexibly selected when the dehumidifier is produced. Generally, if the working environment humidity of the dehumidifier is relatively high, the center angle of the "V-shaped" structure is set to be relatively large, thereby obtaining a larger regeneration area.

[0056] Correspondingly, the radially outer end of the upstream airflow baffle 103 can be arranged on the partition 201 or the annular side plate 102. The former corresponds to a regeneration zone with a smaller area. For details, please refer to the attached Figure 2 The latter corresponds to a larger regeneration area. For details, please refer to the attached Fig. 9 .

[0057] There are two air holes 104, which are respectively located on the inner side and the outer side of the upstream airflow baffle 103. The inner hole corresponds to the regenerated air, on which the extension pipe 15 and the electric heater 14 are installed, and the outer hole corresponds to the humid air, on which the air inlet grille 16 is installed.

[0058] There are two partitions 201 , which are used to separate the driving motor 12 and the rotating wheel 11 , and the operation panel 13 and the rotating wheel 11 , respectively.

[0059] In this embodiment, the two partitions 201 have the same basic function, which is to separate the electrical equipment from the wheel operation area. The electrical equipment refers to the drive motor 12 and the operation panel 13.

[0060] On the other hand, the additional functions of the two partitions 201 include: reinforcing the installation of the wheel 11 and reinforcing the overall shell structure of the rotary dehumidifier.

[0061] The partition frame unit 2 further includes a sealing and supporting dual-purpose frame 203 disposed on one of the partitions 201 and connected to the annular side plate 102 , and a motor shaft insertion hole 204 disposed on the sealing and supporting dual-purpose frame 203 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the functions of the sealing and supporting dual-purpose frame 203 combined with the motor shaft insertion hole 204 at least include: First, the arc-shaped opening 202 needs to allow the driven ring 301 to continuously pass through, so the airtightness of this place is relatively poor. After the sealing support dual-purpose frame 203 is provided, the driving motor 12 and the running area of ​​the wheel can be more fully separated, which is an effective protection for both. Second, the sealing and supporting dual-purpose frame 203 itself directly supports the partition 201, thereby reinforcing the installation of the driving motor 12.

[0063] The sealing and supporting dual-purpose frame 203 is in a rectangular shape, the driving wheel 6 is located inside the sealing and supporting dual-purpose frame 203 , and the driving motor 12 is located outside the sealing and supporting dual-purpose frame 203 .

[0064] The partition frame unit 2 further includes a sealed housing 205 which is disposed on the other partition 201 and covers the arc-shaped opening 202 and is used for mounting the operation panel 13 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the airtightness function of the sealed shell 205 is consistent with that of the sealed support dual-purpose frame 203. The sealed shell 205 can also serve as the installation position of the operation panel 13. Finally, an operation port corresponding to the operation panel 13 is reserved on the annular side plate 102.

[0066] The driving ring unit 3 further includes an annular groove 302 disposed on the end surface of the driven circular ring 301 ; the partition frame unit 2 further includes a support rod 206 disposed on the arc-shaped opening 202 and inserted into the annular groove 302 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the support rod 206 is used in conjunction with the annular groove 302, so that the outer ring surface of the driven ring 301 does not need to rub against the arc surface of the arc opening 202, making the rotation of the wheel 11 more labor-saving.

[0068] Correspondingly, a roller is further arranged on the support rod 206 , and the roller is inserted into the annular groove 302 , so as to further reduce the resistance of the rotation of the rotating wheel 11 .

[0069] The cover plate unit 4 further comprises a snap plate 403 which is arranged on the inner side surface of the detachable cover plate 401 and is used for connecting the downstream airflow baffle plate 402 and the upstream airflow baffle plate 103 by snapping the partition plate 201 to thereby circumferentially position the detachable cover plate 401 .

[0070] In this embodiment, when the rotating wheel 11 is reinstalled after cleaning, it is necessary to align the downstream airflow baffle 402 and the upstream airflow baffle 103. In this process, the clamping plate 403 clamps the partition 201, which can be used as a test position for the above alignment operation. This is the role of the clamping plate 403.

[0071] The cross-sectional shape of the clamping plate 403 is U-shaped, or two single plates are used in combination. The two plates have the same principle, and both clamp the two side surfaces of the partition plate 201 at the same time.

[0072] In addition, the snap plate 403 can also assist in supporting the partition 201, which is particularly important when the dehumidifier is used vertically.

[0073] Among them, on the detachable cover plate 401, there is also an air hole on the inner side of the downstream airflow baffle plate 402, corresponding to humid air, and an air hole on the outer side, corresponding to dry air, and two fans 17 can be respectively set on these two air holes.

[0074] The above detailed description of the implementation methods of the present application is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above implementation methods. Various modifications can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application. These are all non-creative modifications and are protected by the patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present application.
